The demand for replacing degenerated bioprosthetic valves (BPVs) is steadily rising owing to the increasing burden of heart disease, ageing populations, advances in surgical intervention and limited durability of current-generation surgical BPVs. The issue is exacerbated by the increasing trend of surgical BPV replacement, especially in younger patients who are likely to require future… View more
